Ok everyone here are the pictures of my trip. I will try and explain the trip a little here to you and give you some information about each picture. I’m sorry there are so many pictures but I did take over 350 so at least I didn’t post all of them. These are not all the best pictures but they explain our trip the best.
The trip was 3 days in the Canyon. We flew a plane from Vegas to a ranch where we flew into the canyon via helicopter. Then went 2.5 days on the raft with 18 other people going through major rapids, seeing beautiful waterfalls, jumping off 20 foot cliffs, eating amazing food, sleeping under the stars, learning how different “high desert” is, seeing big horned sheep, cacti and geckos and being blown away as we traveled about 75 miles of the 220 mile Grand Canyon.
Thank you so much to all the people who helped me go on this trip. Without you this would not have been possible. I have thought of you often this week. I have some flat out amazing friends. Thank you.
Make sure you click on each picture so you can see it better.
